Default Front emblem alignment/measurements?

Does anyone know the measurements of the front emblem on a '79? I got a fiberglass bumper and blended it into the body and must have lost the holes a long time ago. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Jerry

The very bottom of the flags (the poles, I guess) are 1.5 inches from the seam where the bumper attaches to the car, and about 7 and 7/8 from the very tip of the bumper. Centered on the seam, of course.

Good luck, and if you need another measurement, let me know.

Thanks for the help. I don't have a seam between the body and bumper because it's all one piece now. Can anyone reaffirm the measurement of 7 7/8" from the tip of the bumper? And can someone measure from the midpoint of the emblem (where the poles cross) to where the hood meets the body?

Thank you!
Jerry
